The Origins of the Giganta-Dragoon....

Good Evening.
...​From Philadelphia....

   To say it took longer than I thought to color her would be an understatement. Between this drawing & Empress Prea it has literally eaten up an entire week just to get TWO DRAWINGS COLORED, however!?
   It's been more than worth it!
   The critical-crucial nature of the Giganta-Dragoon of the Priest-Empire is the Fact that these massive small-city MONSTROSITIES!?!?!?
   Are the belligerent-brainchildren of Priest-13 before His Arrival to Underworld-Nu Sumar.
  His Supreme Dowager-STRAT, Ogiri-Goddess Bellnar-Sumara. Who was still in Paradise after having lost Her Life and Her Body during the Pre-Priest Founding Wars for the Empire.
  And Empress-Jackal along with Her Wives, Empress-Hyena and Empress-Raven. The Rulers of the Zendi-Empire that had long been puppeteering the Kinpahki-Empire and supplying Them with advanced biotech on all fronts!
   Which is how Kinpahki had been able to hold off the now absorbed Giant-Dragon Desslar-Empire to Their South. Along with the Fafa-Coventry to Their North!
   What is of note is the Fact that both the Desslar and Fafa were Priest-states while Kinpahki was not.
   Zendi, was also an independent-state that held no ties to Priest-13, which is part of the reason why once the 1st-Empire was founded. His Empress-Phoenix made an immediate b-line to take on and take down the Kinpahki-Empire and absorb it into His Fledgling 1st-Empire! 

   He was none too pleased with the Fact that the Kinpahki had successfully for centuries kept His Desslar from smashing through them and merging with His Fafa-Coventry!!!!!!
   As far as He was concerned He had to HAVE THEM, but he also wasn't buying that somehow a bunch of tenacious cat-bitches were somehow able to thwart His Giant-Dragons from ONE DIRECTION! WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY THWARTING HIS NATION OF HIGH-PRIESTESS FROM THE OTHER FUCKIN DIRECTION!!!!!!
   He'd soon find out why he'd ALLOWED for things to PLAY OUT, regarding His Phoenix-Empress and Her Ascension as the 1st-Empress of His Empire.
   Because Empress-Phoenix was already ahead of Him in regard to preparing an invasion AGAINST Kinpahki, which had been a LONG TIME ENEMY OF HERS ALONG WITH FAFA-COVENTRY!
   Prior to the Founding of the 1st-Empire.
   A general in the Wayfarer-forces.
   Empress-Phoenix was always frustratingly suspicious of how the Kinpahki always seemed to come up with counters in biotech-weaponry and defenses whenever Wayfarer gained the upper hand and were poised to invade Kinpahki!
   With Priest-13 OVERSEEING FROM EARTH!?
   Empress-Phoenix led a successful campaign that ended in Kinpahki-Empire's defeat!
   It would be thanks to Her Sun-Mahtsaba's ability to be able to peer around within the Kinpahki-Empire AS SHE TOOK LAND AND HELD IT!?
   That would allow for Him to finally catch shipments literally being sent out from the northwestern-most region of the Kinpahki-Empire. Where there was LITERALLY NOTHING THERE BUT DENSE JUNGLES LEADING INTO A LAND-BASED RIFT!
    Empress-Phoenix, then prepared for battle against Desslar, who refused to surrender to Her regardless of whether she was an emissary of Priest.
   Empress-Phoenix's wife, Queen-Lioness.
   Was tasked with finding out just what the fuck was hiding within the Land-Rift.
   Attempts to find an entryway were useless, but Queen-Lioness focused on torturing the Kinpahki-Empress and ultimately was told that a hidden-queendom lay beyond the land-rift with the rarely encountered Zendi-People. Safely hidden-away and out of reach, under normal circumstances. 
   Priest-13?
   Since He DID NOT PHYSICALLY EXIST IN NU-SUMAR.
   Used this Fact "to cheat" and use His Own Powers to eventually find the entryway but then more importantly, NAVIGATE IT!
   Till he psionically ended up IN the Zendi-Empire.
   Now while this SEEMS, harmless, and a, "cheat".
   The Reality was that He could NOT BREAK-OFF HIS PSIONIC-SEARCHES WITHOUT FINDING HIS WAY BACK OUT OF THE LAND-RIFT, one way or another, meaning!?
   If He would have LOST HIS WAY BACK TO THE ENTRY-POINT HE'D FOUND THAT MADE A PATH THROUGH THE LAND-RIFT!?
   Then ultimately, mental-fatigue would have caught-up to Him AND HIS PSYCHE-SPIRIT WOULD HAVE BECOME LOST IN THE LAND-RIFT WHILE HIS PHYSICAL-BODY WOULD BECOME PERMANENTLY SEPARATED FROM HIM UNTIL SOMEONE OR SOMETHING GOT HIM OUT OF THE LAND-RIFT!!!!!!!
   This was something that He was unaware of and only found out much later after talking with Empress-Jackal that He could have actually gotten himself PERMANENTLY TRAPPED!
   With His PSYCHE-SPIRIT in Nu-Sumar while His Body WAS ON EARTH!
   Empress-Jackal & Her Wives were the Source of all of the biotech that Kinpahki used. They then surrendered and the Zendi-Empire became part of His 1st-Empire. He didn't need them to tell Him that they'd also been the reason why His Desslar could not get through from the south.
   He then gave orders for Empress-Phoenix to return to the capital and prepare for a Northern-expedition to conquer the Rogue-Ilvala Nations and to leave Queen-Lioness to deal with matters in the Deep-South of the 1st-Empire. He then promoted Queen-Lioness to Empress-Lioness!
    This gave her power over Zendi, Kinpahki and Fafa!
   Along with the task of dealing with the Desslar.
   Bellnar-Sumara?
   Then suggested that She and He take a complete-tour of the Desslar-Empire, since they BOTH were nothing more than psyche-spirits!
   It is FROM THIS TOUR, where Bellnar-Sumara, had never seen this region of Nu-Sumar during Her Life. But she'd built up quite the reputation as a dragonwright when Her Nation existed. She did however hear wild rumors of the Giant-Dragons of Desslar and she was beyond curious! As she knew that dragoons were much larger than dragons, but from what she'd been told the Desslar were even LARGER than dragoons!
   It would be from this trip...?
   That Bellnar would suggest that He ALLOW the Desslar to FIGHT AND ATTEMPT TO INVADE Kinpahki! 
   Bellnar believed that Empress-Lioness, now that SHE CONTROLLED how things would be done. Bellnar was certain Empress-Lioness would turn them all into GIANT HANDBAGS!!!!!!
   Where they could then BE REPURPOSED AND RE-BIOENGINEERED!!!!!!
   Into mountainous monstrosities that could carry entire city-sized forces within their guts!
   Making HIS DREAM OF TOTAL-UNIFICATION OF NU-SUMAR A REALITY!!!!!
   She would be reminded that THIS WAS YET ANOTHER REASON WHY HE'D MADE SURE TO KEEP HER PSYCHE-SPIRIT FROM BEING LOST IN THE WHITE-ABYSS, because...?
   He already intended to do just what she'd suggested after His Desslar had FAILED to defeat the Kinpahki centuries ago.....
